SC rules MPs and MLAs not immune from prosecution for bribery

By Economic Times - 9 months ago
The Supreme Court's recent ruling, overturning the immunity of MPs and MLAs from prosecution for accepting bribes, aligns with the principles of decency and common sense. This correction, overturning a previous judgment, emphasizes that taking a bribe is destructive to the ideals of the Constitution. Similarly, the Prime Minister's recent address to Cabinet and central government secretaries highlights the importance of governance continuity and public interest over personal or political gains. These actions aim to clean up the political system and strengthen trust in governance, vital for a functioning democracy.
